When Xia Qingyu came to the market, it was still early in the sky, but the shops along the two roads of the Yulan River took the lead in hanging out all kinds of beautiful and exquisite lanterns, and the flowers were paved all over the ground, and there was already a long line of government guards on the side of the road to block the ten-mile flower street. Although it has been blocked, it is already crowded and lively at this time.

The rain shelter bridge on the Yulan River is a characteristic bridge body that combines the functions of sheltering from the rain and watching the river across the vast Yulan River, and it is also the viewing place set by Li Guifei herself, so both sides of the bridge are surrounded by guards impenetrable, and even the bridge is full of guards.

The stage is set up on the Yulan River, one meter away from the rain shelter bridge, a piece of black long thick wooden planks are stacked to form a large flat land across the Yulan River, and then a wide high platform is raised on the wooden bridge, and the high platform is also decorated with all kinds of lifelike flower-like lanterns and various bright red long scarves, and it is surrounded by flowers from time to time, and the fragrance is fragrant. This is just a stage, not to mention the rain shelter bridge that Li Guifei watched, and its magnificence can be imagined.

However, at this time, the rain shelter bridge was blocked by gauze curtains, and the people who were stopped on both sides of the street by the guards could not get a glimpse of it.

With such extravagance and luxury, only the Xia family has the financial resources to create such a gorgeous bridge stage out of thin air on such a wide Yulan River in just two days. Seeing the crowd around the crowd excited, exclaiming and admiring, a little impatiently waiting for the night to fall.

In the evening, there was a sudden huge agitation from the rear, and some guards came to make the onlookers kneel, Xia Qingyu knew that Concubine Li was coming, so she had to kneel down with everyone, and the others bowed their heads one by one, but she looked up and looked around, but because she was short and sandwiched in the crowd, the guards didn't find it.

I saw a team of maids in front of me opening the way, and many people in the middle carried a sedan chair surrounded by a gauze curtain, and another team of maids on the left and right, and a team of maids followed. Each maid is a young girl, dressed in pink, and each carries a flower basket in her hand, and she flutters the petals in the basket in a neat manner. Suddenly, a rain of flowers fell in time and space, and the petals fluttered in the wind, like butterflies dancing gracefully.

Xia Qingyu stretched out her hand to catch a few pink flowers that fell down, looked at the lovely pink in her palm, and her mind drifted to the scene of her and him when she was in the Emerald Lake, and couldn't help but think: "Where is he now?" Then he lowered his head and asked Xiao Liuli, who only poked out half of his head in his arms: "Little Liuli, do you want to be a little hairy child?" How nice it is for him to be here now, so that I can sneak with him into the rain shelter to see what new and interesting things are going on before Concubine Li comes. ”

"Please, that's the holy concubine Li Guifei today, the rain shelter bridge during the Lantern Festival, the guards are so tightly guarded that I'm afraid that even a fly can't fly in!" However, Xiao Liuli couldn't speak, only whined twice, and couldn't help but silently lament in her heart, why did she have such a master who was thinking about causing trouble, and she would be killed by her one day, thinking that Wei Lan was coming again, and blamed Wei Lan's black face, and when she saw him in the future, she simply killed him to take revenge. The more Xiao Liuli thought about it, the more she complained, so she simply turned her head to look at Concubine Li's group and ignored her.

I saw that the four-dimensional gauze curtain of the rain shelter bridge was pulled up, and only the pavilion in the middle of the bridge was surrounded by two layers of pearl bead curtains, and the strings of pearls shone with a soft and bright light under the light, but there were two layers of red gauze curtains inside.

In addition to hanging lanterns and flowers on the bridge, each pavilion is filled with gold and jade objects filled with various fruits and cakes. Hearing that Concubine Li loved the hibiscus cake and peanut shortbread of the Sifang Inn, Xia Qingyu thought to herself that the two young ladies of the Xia family who met that day were there for these two pastries.

Xia Qingyu saw that there were no rare treasures on the rain bridge except for a large string of pearls and gold silk jade, and he couldn't help but feel very bored in his heart.

At this time, the side of the rain shelter bridge was already full of officials who were ready to greet the Xia family and Su City, and when Li Guifei arrived, everyone knelt down to welcome Guifei into the bridge.

After Concubine Li and the others entered the rain shelter bridge, a large group of people got up and rushed in. At this time, a large number of guards who stopped the people all withdrew to defend the rain bridge. As soon as the guards left, the common people rushed to grab the best seats along the river to watch the stage.

Xia Qingyu took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and directly crossed over to a tree by the river, picked up a comfortable seat and sat down.

Xia Qingyu looked down and saw a sea of people on both sides of the river, but there were lanterns lit up in the sea of people, like stars in the night sky, falling in the crowd, it was a lantern in the hands of the people, and then the rows of dense trees on both sides of the river were also full of people, and the tree she was in was not spared.

Xia Qingyu is small, and the light industry is good, so the whole person is basically sitting on the top of the tree, where the field of vision is wide and close to the stage of the rain shelter bridge, and all the personnel activities below can be seen clearly.

Xia Qingyu turned his little head and glanced at the people on the rain shelter bridge one by one, but he was puzzled to find that there were no figures of the two young ladies of the Xia family that he had seen in the Sifang Inn that day.

Xia Qingyu continued to roll her eyes and cast her eyes on some of the people around Concubine Li, and finally found the person she was looking for.

Xia Qingyu carefully looked at the head of the Xia family who was sitting next to Concubine Li, and saw that this person had thick eyebrows and big eyes, sharp and angular outlines, and his words and deeds were full of calm atmosphere but also revealed a rare and elegant atmosphere, which was different from ordinary businessmen.

At this time, Xia Qingyu was so hateful that he secretly raised his fist at him a few times, eager to slap him into the Yulan River with one palm, but he knew that if he wanted to think about it, after all, his life was still important.

On the stage in the river, local operas have been babbled and performed, with water sleeves flying, deliberately elongated tones, bangzi sounds, and occasional fast-paced drums, which are very lively.

After the warriors came to the stage to compete in sword competition, suddenly the music was everywhere, but they saw twelve gorgeous lightboats in the Yulan River slowly moving towards the rain shelter bridge.

Each lightship is two-tiered, and there is a beautiful small high platform on the top floor, on which there is a beautiful woman singing and dancing, but around the high platform is a girl in pink clothes sprinkled with flower petals towards the river. There are twelve boats in total, and there are twelve beautiful women with graceful figures.

The woman who Xia Qingyu took the lead was Xia Qi, the fourth lady of the Xia family, who met in the Sifang Inn that day, and I saw her smiling, graceful and moving, and extremely beautiful.

Behind her, the slim, gentle and dignified woman who gave a was veiled, and Xia Qingyu still recognized it as Xia Xin, the second lady of the Xia family.

It turned out that Xia Xin was scheduled to take the lead, but Xia Qi was happy to be in the limelight and showed off her dancing skills, so she pestered Li Guifei Xia Yulan every day to snatch the leading position, Xia Xin was quiet, but she was not angry, she didn't care about her, and she didn't care about it, and she had more important things in her heart.

Xia Xin scanned the surroundings nervously while dancing skillfully, and his heart was up and down, afraid that this mistake would be a catastrophe.
